Meghan, Duchess of Sussex spotted out and about

[queentim]

Recently spotted at a TSwift (allegedly), Barbie movie for her birthday, a restaurant, and then hanging out with friends in an Instagram selfie. She looks phenomenal in this photo!

Glad to see she's enjoying her life back home with her family.

Meghan summer selfie

This is so correct a summing up of the behaviour of H&M.

I don't watch crazy youtube sites, or Lady C, who I have heard of but find intensely irritating. Her actual life though is very fascinating, if you ever want to read about it.

Also not seen photoshopping stuff on here, and as for the anger that is supposedly on these threads...where? Just where?

People are allowed to have an opinion that meghan's behaviour is shallow and vapid and Harry's spiteful and vindictive, but that's not hatred. I've read some incredibly nasty things on here about the members of the RF. So?? Its a valid opinion. No one has the right to invalidate another person's opinion unless it breaks societal rules.

I also don't spend the entire day like some posters, posting on every thread from morning to night. I really don't understand that level of obsession. Hand the baton over, have a night off, get drunk, shag your husband...plenty of far more interesting things to do!

@MrsMaxDeWinter May choose to look at offensive and frankly, bonkers Youtube videos in the pursuit of her book material, but the vast majority of people see a relatively small amount of output. I saw Netflix, Oprah and read part of Spare (it was like reading a child's diary so gave up), but I also read other books like Revenge to get a different viewpoint. Don't read newspapers, or magazine so it just what flashes into my newsfeed or TV I see.

Interesting bunch though those neighbours - I wonder if they had a conversation with Ellen about her toxicity towards staff.

Why would they?

What’s ridiculous is someone going to all the trouble of comparing temperatures and studying videos just to make a point !
I actually liked her coat and have never suggested it was out of place .

Invictus games marching debacle

First hand account of James Dunlop MBE 🎥 of the Invictus Games and Harry and Meghan Vs some posters on this thread, online trolls and tabloids.

“The last ten days has been quite eye opening on the global treatment of Meghan Markle. I had some lovely moments with her and Prince Harry around and towards myself and everybody at the @InvictusGamesDE but I see so much online hatred and bullying towards her. Some of it was even deliberately coordinated across multiple online accounts. No one should be bullied or berated online, it’s foul.

“She’s not dressed smart enough to meet veterans and their families” - It was a Military sponsored but effectively civilian sports event. The vast majority of spectators and veterans were in shorts and T-shirts. All quite informal.

“Why is a civilian in a military parade” - it wasn’t a Military parade. The cycling medal ceremony had a small group march probably 20 metres to the presentation area with German Military individuals. Meghan was one of many civilian VIPs in these ceremonies.

Seeing so much false information around their attendance and the games has certainly shown me just how prevalent online bullying is, especially on this platform. It’s such a shame in 2023, I thought we were all better and kinder.

Behind the nonsense online, I witnessed only thanks towards them. Standing ovations when Harry came onto stage and left, thanks that they made so many special moments at sports matches and handing out medals and taking the time to speak to so many people and have pictures.

Online bullying needs to be eradicated.

I saw coordinated online attacks - after events I saw the same short edited video with the same description posted over multiple different social media accounts within minutes taking up hundreds of thousands of views each. All spewing the same misinformed negative rhetoric.

And funnily enough the same British tabloid mentioned in their documentary spouting the same disgusting headlines, formalising the nonsense. I seriously wonder what those journalists are thinking as they write this clickbait ‘news’.

It’s been so eye opening to be able to compare the ‘real life’ treatment of two people - the love, the gratitude I saw - versus the online/media ‘version’ of events.

Personally I’m very thankful for them to spend an entire week with veterans and families from around the world. 21 countries I believe. They brought fun, joy and memories everywhere they went everytime, watching different games and awarding medals. So thank you.”

(That’s me in the background of those pictures by the way)

🤣 really? And that’s all I’ll say but this made me chortle!

@MissElinorDashwood You say you have seen online bullying on this platform. Why is it not reported to MNHQ. They take very seriously online bullying, and will delete posts. I'm afraid it is very easy to label people's valid opinions as online bullying with no evidence to support it. People do and did feel the 'marching' in a playsuit kind of ridiculous. Are they not allowed to say this?

I’m skinny too, we feel the cold more… plus autumnwear is the best wear all year. I can’t wait to get my coats out. I don’t see what the conspiracy could possibly be anyway 😅

We shall wear our coats and cardies whenever we want 🤣

People do and did feel the 'marching' in a playsuit kind of ridiculous.

Yes they can but only if they apply it equally to each and every civilian who “marched” with the soldiers and the medal winners for each and every medal ceremony in their variety of dress.

@skullbabe If you have the app, you can click on the Y shaped icon at the top and it will tell you in posting numbers, who has posted most. I am very low down in numbers as I can only pop in intermittently.

Finally I have found my people 😂

Crikey I'm having deja vue now🙄

get drunk, shag your husband...plenty of far more interesting things to do!

Done 🍷
On the cards (waiting for Rugby World Cup to finish lol)
Done (organised a get together with lots of 🍷 earlier on!)

Touché

And you?

Blimey that was fast 😂

Posted on the whole of MN or only on a thread or board?

TBH the KC affair looked very low key and many people were dressed informally. It was after all about the first responders.

@Roussette there is always during the adverts, Colour will be much happier if you pack in as much as possible!

I'm in european timezone. Finished the wine, and rugby just finished 😜

The whole post is by James Dunlop MBE. He’s the person you can see in photos (in the background).

I’ll take his opinion (and everyone else at the games) above anyone else’s.

He’s well informed. Incidentally, I watched nearly all of the games and ceremonies and I made the exact same observations on another post.

I’ll believe my own eyes. I don’t need a clip/photo taken out of context and have it interpreted for me.

😂 I take my time!

Nothing to do with the 🍷 of course lol

@MrsMaxDeWinter

"I’ll believe my own eyes. I don’t need a clip/photo taken out of context and have it interpreted for me."

Yet you just have except it's been interpreted by James Dunlop.

Crikey I'm having deja vue now🙄

Its good to correct misinformation 😊

I’ve been working long days for most of the week - have just got in and I’ve just had my tea and drinking a glass of wine - can’t get drunk because my son needs me to look over his Mandarin homework which he’s suddenly remembered needs to be in tomorrow morning. Husband asleep - he’s on earlies so no conjugals in the offing. So wine, Mandarin and Royal Threads it is - hope that’s ok?

In what sense is James Dunlop uniquely informed in online trolling? How was he trained in how to spot a coordinated attack, how can he tell which posts are by the same individuals? It doesn't seem to be his area of expertise at all, he is pontificating like we all are. Criticism isn't bullying, it's part of life.
